Questions, answered
What is co-employment?

Co-employment is the shared-employer arrangement behind temp staffing: we own the payroll, tax and compliance duties while you control the actual work. Both sides carry anti-discrimination obligations, so a compliant agency protects you.

Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

As the W-2 employer for temp staff, Scout Finders provides and pays for workers' compensation and handles claims. That's one of the core reasons businesses use a staffing agency instead of hiring temps directly.

What does a staffing agency do?

Staffing agencies recruit, vet and place candidates so you can scale your workforce up or down fast. On temp and contract assignments the agency employs the worker — payroll, taxes, workers' comp — while on direct-hire roles you employ them and the agency simply finds and screens the talent.

How does temp staffing work?

Temp staffing means we supply the worker and carry the employment overhead. You describe the need, we place someone fast, we handle the wages, withholding, workers' comp and work-authorization checks, and you simply direct the job.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in New York?

For direct-hire and permanent placements, Scout Finders recruits and vets only — your business employs the candidate, so there is no co-employment and no license claim. We lead with ASA membership and structured candidate vetting (skills, references, work authorization). In New York, employment-agency licensing applies to fee-charging placement; Scout Finders supplies temp and contract staff as the W-2 employer of record (co-employment, we carry workers' compensation, I-9/E-Verify). Fee-placement license on file where required (registration number provided on engagement).
